Game Axis has conducted an interview with Doug Avery, Associate Producer for Icewind Dale II. Here's a bit:
GameAxis: How much text has been created for IWD2? (In dialogues, storyline, descriptions etc.)
Doug Avery: We have over 700,000 words in Icewind Dale II. The text has all been sent out for localization and we're now receiving translations for our European builds. By way of comparison, the original Icewind Dale had over 300,000 words. There is a much deeper story and a lot more side-quests to engage the player not to mention a lot more items and spells that also contribute to that number getting larger. |
